(Sri Pritamdas Maharaj Punatithi: 21st May)
The saint Pritamdas is believed to have been born between 1717A D and 1723 AD at village Bawala near Ahmedabd. He was blind since birth. His parents died when he was barely ten years of age. He lived on alms and he was homeless. Subjected to insults and humiliation at the age of ten years, Pratamdasji once perchance landed at satsang. He developed reverence for sent Bhaidas. He took Mantra diksha from Sant Bhaidas and become a follower of his. He completely
dedicated himself to the Guru and started living in the Guru’s Ashram. Being born blind he had no attraction towards the world; so he was experiences and he becomes a saint. Wonderful mystical poetry emerged form his heart which evoked appreciation from even foreigners. The flowing devotional song is composed by him: Anand mangal Karu arati Hari guru santani seva.
‘I am moving the arati lamp which brings bliss and proptipneuses; I serve the Lord the Guru and the saints.’
Once he went for the darshan of Lord Dakorji (a temple of Lord Krishna.) The priest at the temple ridiculed him by wondering as to went king of darshan a blind man can have. At this he described the whole of the Lord’s apparel in a poem. He described the colour of the Lord’s clothes he suggested that lotus flower that had been placed before the Lord on the left side should have been on the right side he also told that the flute had been placed in an inappropriate position and what should be the correct position he described the Lord crown…….
Even though he was blind since birth he described the clothes and ornaments of Lord Dakorji with amazing accuracy. The rest was wonderstruck and threw himself at pritamdas’s feet. Those whose minds are completely engrossed in the Lord don’t need the physical eyes: they have the Lord’s darshan with their inner eyes.
Once members of an organization funned by Roman Rolland came to India to see the spirituality of this great land. They found that even though Saint Pritamdas was blind his poetry on devotional love was unsurpassed. They on were so impressed that they carried back the poems with them.
Sant prtiamdas departed form this world in the year 1797. The moral remains of Sant Pritamdas were buried in the form of a Samadhi (a tomb or monument) in sandeasar near Anand in Gujarat.
Describing the glory of Lord; name pritamdasji says:
Love and reveres the Guru’s feet
The light of wisdom will manifest
Says Pritam in the twinkling of an eye,
Nescience will be dispelled.
The pure hearted one who sees that
The Guru is great then Govind,
Will escape the cycle of birth
And death so says prtiam.
He who mistakes the Guru for a human being
And analyses Him on the basis of His behaviour.
Says pritam there is no doubt that says pritam there is no doubt that
Such a one will fall into hell.
He who has no Guru know him to be Ngurar
Says pritam there is no sinner like him.
Not a man but a stone is he.
As insight without the moon wife
Without the husband
Says puritan so is the being an ignorant
Beast without the Guru.
Surrender your body mind life and
Everything to the Guru
Says pritam you will be rescued forum
The cycle of transmigration.

300 વર્ષ પહેલાં ના આ અંધ સંત કવિ શ્રી પ્રીતમદાસ 4 ચોપડી ભણેલા, તેઓએ લખેલ આરતી વિશ્વભર માં ચાલે છે, આનંદ મંગલ કરું આરતી કરું ગુરુ સંતની સેવા, અને હરિનો મારગ છે શૂરાનો નહિ કાયરનું કામ રે

સંત પ્રીતમદાસની મહાનતા તેમેના ભજનો અને આરતી પરથી સ્પષ્ટ થાય છે. આટલા મહાન સંતનાં અસ્તિત્વ વિશે ગુજરાતના લોકો અજ્ઞાત છે. સંદેસરમાં તેમની સમાધીસ્થાન જોતાં જણાય, કે આ મહાન સંત કેટલા ઉપેક્ષિત છે! તેમના જીવન અને કવન વિશે ઈન્ટરનેટ પર પણ કઈ ખાસ ઉપલબ્ધ નથી. આ કાર્ય થવું જોઈએ. આ બ્લોગ લખનારને હું અભિનંદન આપું છું. વિશેષ કાર્ય માટે હું પણ નિમિત્ત બનું, એવી ઈશ-પ્રાર્થના.
